DESCRIPTION
The ITT Jabsco bronze centrifugal pump is designed for
continuous duty service. The close coupled, compact
motor pump unit is equipped with a ball bearing motor
and stainless steel shaft and has a service factor of 1.5
or greater. The Centri-Puppy is equipped with a Viton lip
seal for application versatility. Unlike ITT Jabsco flexible
impeller pumps, the centrifugal pump is not self-priming.
Normal installation is flooded suction, that is, with the
pump below the source liquid level so that liquid flows by
gravity to the pump. The pump may be located above
the liquid source, if a check valve or foot valve is
installed at the beginning of the suction line; and, the
pump and entire suction line is filled with liquid; and, all
air is bled from the suction side when primed and will
maintain its prime, as long as the foot or check valve
functions as it should, without leaking. If the check valve
leaks, the pump will not reprime, and must be manually
primed in order to resume operation.
Published performance curves are based on pumping
water at 68 degrees F. The motor horsepower is suffi-
cient to provide full open discharge capacity at three (3)
feet of head. As the head (pressure) against which the
pump operates increases, the load on the motor
decreases, thus the discharge may be throttled without
danger of overloading the motor. Liquids of higher spe-
cific gravity (weight) than water require more power to
generate the same performance available with water.
The horsepower requirement increases directly as the
increase in specific gravity.
It is not possible to increase the horsepower of a close
coupled motor pump unit, therefore, to pump a liquid of
higher specific gravity, with the centrifugal motor pumps,
the capacity must be limited by restricting the discharge
Explosion hazard. Motor can spark.
Explosion & death can occur. Do not use
where flammable vapors are present.

PERFORMANCE CHART
to stay within the horsepower available. In other words,
the discharge must be throttled to the extent that the
motor full load amperage rating, found on the motor
label, is not exceeded. Contact factory for application
engineering assistance.
In all installations, make sure the suction is not restrict-
ed. Do not use an elbow fitting in the pump intake port.
Starved suction can result in cavitation which will dam-
age the pump and cause performance deterioration.
Viscous or thick liquids are difficult to pump with a small
centrifugal pump. Do not attempt to pump liquids with a
viscosity exceeding 1500 SSU (SAE 30 WT OIL at 75
degrees F) with a centrifugal pump. Consider, instead,
the ITT Jabsco flexible impeller pump.
